Diameter 10mm, Weight 0.9g Must be from Lysimacheia, I can see ΛΥ but I am not sure who is on obverse, Hermes or Demeter? Report this Post to the Staff

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 05/16/2021 4:44 pm Bob, it's a confusing coin. I checked all the samples I found from Dyme, there is a difference in diameter, the coin I have is 10mm, the smaller I found from Dyme is 14mm. Also I can't see a Δ, it appears as an Λ. I will see it again tomorrow on daylight to make it more clear. Thank you for your suggestion Bob! Report this Post to the Staff
